Choose to be a Dragon

It was nine o'clock in the evening and Aldwin finally was on his way to his bed with a tired face and a crooked back after a long busy day at the office.Keeiekk~The sound of his Katri, a simple bed made from a bamboo tree, creaked with his obvious weight added. He was feeling full after having a hearty dinner cooked by his grandma.He yawned while rubbing his eyes and slowly relaxed his body while he laid on his back, not forgetting to pat the small but soft while pillow."What a busy week it..." Aldwin said while stretching his arms and legs."All the work! Do this, do that, print this, print that! No overtime pay, no time to play Dota. this life sucks."Aldwin mumbled to himself regarding his work as a graphic artist. He had been working for two years in a small printing shop since it was conveniently close to his home."Now your talking!"Suddenly, the nagging sound of his grandma came out from the kitchen side after overhearing Aldwin's mumbling complaints.Washing the dishes, hi

How exciting is that!?"I will be right back Lilla! This will be quick." Aldwin shouted back while he continued running. His back slowly fading in the cover of the forest's shadow."Come back! I said! It is raining and you might get sick! Aldwin! Come back! Now! You are so dead young man!~" The sound of his angry grandmother slowly faded as they are slowly replaced by the hurried steps and the passing wind.Quickly, Aldwin's view went farther away from his grandma who was adamantly calling him. Little did he knew, his life is about to change.It was lightning he will forever remember.--------Aldwin ran for more than 15 minutes before he started slowing down upon seeing a bright yellow glow in the middle of the forest not far from him.Luckily, the place where he lives was not far from the landing spot and he seems to be the first one to have come this far at the moment.This excites him but at the same time, scares him.What happens if that dragon is still alive and ends up going aft

Save the girl.Whether it is actually Dragon or a human, it doesn't matter. Aldwin's conscience did not allow him to go back and let everything go after witnessing all this absurdness.Despite his current doubts and fears, he could not afford to just leave and watch that poor girl get devoured by the hungry monsters. One thing that his grandmother always taught him is to never refuse to help someone who needs it.His eyes are now full of determination. He racked his brain out of what to do. The unconscious girl is in the middle of a small crater surrounded by scorched marks. She is lying there, naked, with her face and body covered by her long black hair.He scanned the surroundings for anything that he could use to help the woman. It was still raining and he needs to move fast or his grandma might follow him in the forest and things could get worst than he imagined.However, the real threats are the two monsters beating each other and causing damage everywhere with incredible strength

Together with the devilish laugh from the Manananggal, the wings made a sudden stop which caused both of them to dive down.The girl being creeped out of the Manananggal's ability, let go of her wings and jumped away leaving the Mananagal's back when suddenly, its thick long hair moved like a snake and grabbed her foot midair!"Zhēn ěxīn!" (means disgusting) The girl shouted. "Let me go bat or I will destroy you and every member of your cave!""Kyaheheheheh! Dragon Meat! Kyaehehehi~" Unyielding to its cravings, the Manananggal only replied with a demented laugh.With a sudden jerk, the naked girl lost her balance mid-air and she was dragged in the air by the Manananggal's hair!Like a human toy leashed by the Manananggal's hair, she was carried along like a children's toy.She was smashed in the ground, in the trees, and thrown even on solid rocks just to completely weaken her but the naked girl seems to be persisting. Not a single scratch or a broken bone at all can be seen in contra

"What do you mean?"The dragon girl took a clearer look at Aldwin only to find multiple wounds all over his body. He is dying with the amount of blood he has lost. It seems that he never won that fight against the Manananggal unscathed. He had taken quite some sharp blows from her blade-like nails.Right now, the black clouds have finally moved away and the bright glow of the moon revealed Aldwin's dire state.He is swimming in his pool of blood clenching his fist in pain.-------"So you are dying after that small fight?""I am pathetic right? uhoo...At least, I saved you."The dragon girl stared at Aldwin's eyes.Not a single trace of hate nor fear can be seen in his eyes. It was too clear that the stars reflected beautifully on them."The stars are beautiful tonight huh," said Aldwin with a weak smile.It seems that his curiosity to see a dragon got a good fool on him. Not only he did find the dragon in human form, he even gets to battle it out against a manananggal which he used to
